Hello. Please send me your photos over online consultation so i can check and and prescribe which cream will suit your skin. Till then only use a moisturiser and a sunscreen, do not use any steroid containing skin lightening creams.
There are many less harmful components which can give good results in lightening the dark skin, pimple spots or tanning. These are kojic avid, arbutin, peptides, licorice, curcumin and several other safe ingredients that are prescribed according to skin type.
These creams can be used for a long time safely to maintain the skin tone and prevent darkening of skin. Get your skin lightening cream prescribed by dermatologist according to your skin type. Video consultation is also a good option to get help for skin care and Set your day night regimen with skin doctor.
